Pressure Ulcer Detection Devices Market Analysis

Pressure Ulcer Detection Devices: Market Dynamics

Pressure ulcers have become acute and are a significant burden to the healthcare system. With the growing aging population, the incidence and prevalence rate is increasing. According to the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel report, around 2.5 million patients developed pressure ulcers every year with an incidence rate of 2.5% in hospitals and 60,000 deaths per year. The healthcare expenditure burden on pressure ulcer is gradually increasing. For example, in US cost for the healthcare system is US$9-11 billion per year. Per patients with stage III/IV pressure ulcer cost US$70-150 thousand. The growing number of aging population, increase in obesity and incontinence in urine, lack of poor nutrition will drive the growth of pressure ulcer detection devices. Another factor for the increase in demand in pressure ulcer detection devices is growing the diabetic population, kidney failure, heart failure, peripheral arterial disease and also Parkinson disease which makes the skin more delicate or fragile causing movement problems. Emerging innovation to heal pressure ulcers using gene therapy which includes cytokines and growth factors, adipose tissue or bone marrow-derived stem cell therapy may restrain the market of pressure ulcer detection devices.

Pressure Ulcer Detection Devices Market: Overview

A pressure ulcer is a common issue in many hospital settings. Many physiological factors such as age, gender, race, mobility, weight have given birth to pressure ulcers. Reimbursement has also no longer being provided in many hospitals for pressure ulcer detection devices. Due to the lack of effective treatment and massive clinical need, new technologies are boosting the growth of pressure ulcer detection devices market. Mechanical solutions are no longer widely used as these methods are focused purely on prevention based on duration and not on physiological factors. However, numerous technologies have boosted the pressure ulcer detection devices market such as Dynamic Supportive Surface pressure ulcer detection devices which is a temperature control system used to prevent early onset of pressure ulcer. Also Thermographic Imaging System and the Monitor Alert Protect system is highly recommended pressure ulcer detection devices by many physicians due to its accuracy in detection of ulcers and also it can be used in all patients.
